V and I live in a part of Euclid known as Sherwood Forest. We have plenty of deer but no Robin Hood,  Our neighbor reminds us of Friar Tuck but that's another issue.  The good folks of Sherwood have banded together to for a neighborhood group knows as the Sherwood Forest Friends Association.  V has been elected VP and offered to build a community web site. So here goes a real live opportunity for Dot Net Nuke, the content management system of choice here at RBA Web Services. Check out the site and let us know what you think......

Just found out that I failed to put up a link for the Indulgements Web Site - so here it is - Your Unique Gift Basket Headquarters and while you are n the shopping mood - check out our friends at Midwestern Leather Products - they have designer purses

Well today was a day of days. My fraternity, Omega Pis Phi, Zeta Kappa Kappa Chapter had it's annual founder's day celebration. This year a luncheon was held. It turned out to be a very nice affair. And to top it off I was honored with a Superior Service Award for my tutoring/mentoring of youth at the City Mission.

These are the notes for today

I finally figured out that I need to have multiple web sites linked to sites that I want to have decent google rankings. So I have five different hosting services and now I will put pages on each service - and the pages will have links to the others - and each page will attempt to have content that changes regularly - Let see what we get Todays Links are to Pernel Jones Funeral Home  the Cummings and Davis Funeral Home - so lets see what we get. Oh yeah - heres a link to Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church and EMS Rams

RBAWebServices can use a boost as well

After finally getting most of the web sites back in operation I can now spend some time trying to figure out this search engine optimization thing. Just for fun - and to see what happens - yesterady set up the first fruits child care web site and submitted it to google's webmaster tools along with a sitemap.  This moring I googled first fruits child care and it appeared along with a map - so that was wonderful.  Now to do the same thing for the Cummings and Davis Funeral Home, Pernel Jones and Sons Funeral Home, RBA Web Services, Buckeye State Funeral Directors and Embalmers Association, Alexs Rooms For Rent, Verniki Dot Net, Pilgrim's Rest Baptist Church, Ems Rams Football, Midwestern Leather Products, and of course Ronney Black Dot Com.

More Later.....

Well we finally got it going. V has become quite the web designer. One of her recent creations is for the First Fruits Child Care Center in Euclid. Andrew and Chelsea Pernell started the business in it's current location about five years ago and they operate one of the finest child care centers in the Cleveland are. Highly recommended.  Check out the site and if you know someone needing their services give them a call.

Well the last month has been stressful as all get out. My VPS server at Easy CGI - ( or is it YourWebHosting ) has been busted since October 14, 2008.  Each time I've tried to log in to the control panel I have had to call tech support for a password reset....Now I can't even get to the control panel. Talk about incompetent. To fight back - as in survive - I have created a new presence www.rbawebservices.com  So far my VPS there has been stable and fast - and less costly.  And tech support answers the phone in a few minutes.  So I have begun hosting lots of things there www.ronblack.org will be converted this week as will the EmsRams

In the process of moving my web sites from EasyCGI, I set up a new service - now I am selling domain names - cheap. So pop over to RBA Web Services and check out the name of your choice.  There is a link to that site on my old RonBlack Dot Org site which is still in operation.....

And just for fun I have been tutoring / mentoring youung people at the City Mission, on of Cleveland's finest organizations. It's been very rewarding. The young men are looking for male leadership...

Finally - Three cheers to Obama and his team.  Our national nightmare is almost over.

Talk about screw ups - other than the republican party.   My web hosting company Easy CGI just underwent an upgrade.  At least that's the term they are using - I think they were bought out by a bigger company.  Well the upgrade started in the first week of October and is still going badly. Websites are inaccessible and services not available. But I have to be careful in my criticism. I just received a call from someone who told me he googled his name and saw it on a web site I built.  It seems I screwed up and posted an excel spreadsheet to the site so I could have handy access to phone numbers. Now the entire univers has access to the numbers..... Let's see what it takes to fix this.  More later
